PML 125i coupe engine specs

[stevenwu]

hi,

hp/torque values are:
135i : 315hp / 400Nm
130i: 270hp / 315Nm
125i: ?
120i: ?

Is it true that the 125i is using a detune 3.0 litres engine ? or a 2.5litres engine ?

Road tax wise ia a big different ?


please advice.

Guess how they detune the 3L to have lesser bhp/nm is about the same as the way BMW detune the E46 325i to E46 323i specs.

yeah... I actually placed an order for the 125 coupe last Saturday... managed to get the only one ex-stock (if the SE is not BSing me)... think will get the key early next month. I love the engine/exhaust "melody"... wind down the window just to hear "music".

damm nice engine / exhaust note rite ?

i'm now waiting for an insurance quote as well as trade in price before i sign on the dotted line.

dude, what was the price quoted to you ? any freebies ?

PM me so that we can compare notes ....hehe

PS: Were you quoted the pricing for Sunroof as well as Sat Nav ?

I was told by an SE that its better to wait for the Sept production since some options now will be standard then... Delivery end of the year. Just a thought.

hi sam,

any idea what options ?

at 152k, the car doesnt even come with I-drive or climate control, its really very very base.......

after adding the specs that i wanted, it came up close to 135i pricing levels.....

However i would still prefer a well-speced 125 coupe as my personal opinion after driving it is that BMW prob detuned the engine as the 1 coupe chasis isnt capable of handling too much power.....even in the detuned state, i had wheel spins and under steering round corners....

and i wasnt even at full throttle yet !

eagerly awaiting reviews from other members who test drove it !

Hey man,

Please take my words with a pinch of salt since that is what the SE told me. U may want to delve into it more if u are able to do so.

I'll find out the name & number of the SE and I'll PM u later.

As for the chassis having too much power, I think it can take more since its the same body as the 135i but with 306bhp/400nm.

Cheers!
Sam

i personally think the chassis can take more power den the stock 135i motor
